An Introduction to Green Nanotechnology, Volume 28, provides students, scientists and chemical engineers with an overview of several types of nanostructures, discusses the synthesis and characterization of nanostructures, and provides applications of nanotechnology in daily life. The book offers a foundation to green nanotechnology by explaining why green nanotechnology is important. Covers biological sources in green nanotechnology, antioxidants, green nanostructures, mechanism, synthesis and characterization. The book ends with an evaluation of the risks of nanotechnology in human life and future perspectives. - Introduces novel sources of plants having a high potential to be used as bio media to synthesize nanostructures - Provides phytochemical properties and antioxidant potential, and their effects on stability, morphology and size of green nanostructures - Includes a medicinal and technological comparison of green synthesized nanostructures to nano-products from non-green methods - Uses accessible language, avoiding complex concepts of mathematics, biology and chemistry
Autorentext
Mahmoud Nasrollahzadeh is an Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, University of Qom, Iran. His current research mainly focusses on the organic and organometallic chemistry and design of new synthetic routes to the synthesis of novel organic molecules. In recent years, his research has shifted toward plant-mediated green synthesis of metal and metal oxides nanocatalysts, water treatment, biopolymer-based metal nanoparticle, biomass valorization, and surface modification of colloidal inorganic nanostructures. He has been awarded multiple Iranian and international scientific prizes and has published over 210 publications in high impact international journals, 3 book chapters and 1 book with Elsevier.
